Hello there! Need some recommendations!

So I unfortunately cannot drive anymore, but there's a decent bus system in a town where I live. The thing is, bus stations are sometimes pretty far, or getting on a bicycle would take me twice less than going by bus to a few of my errands! Crazy, right!

So I've been trying to do my own research on an e-bike that could be nice for everyday use, but mostly short commutes(maybe less than 1.5 hours a day total). I'm decently into bicycling, but I do live near a few slight hills.

\*I'd need a bicycle that has a removable battery so I can charge it at home without having to bring extension cables outside

\*mostly for the city/town/paved roads

\*beginner friendly?

\*road safe, of course, and should definitely be able to have a little thingy on the back so I can place a bag on it or something

\*possibly on a cheaper end, I, unfortunately, cannot spend a grand on a very nice e-bike

\*for visual reasons, I like 26" bicycles/regular looking bicycles, but I'd take any advice for any sort of model!

So what would yall recommend?

(I'm 5'10 "and 160lbs if that matters for any model, since I saw that in some cases it does)

Thanks everyone :D

Uscis just updated the wait time for my case

The previous waiting period would have ended in the beginning of July this year, so I was really excited to send an e-request and hopefully get it moving since it's been 16 months since applying to TPS. But they just changed it to 20.5, I believe. My legal stay ends at the end of August this year, so unless they figure it out in one month, I'm fucked.

What are my options? I have a legal advisor that's helping me and my family fill out the cases and giving us updates/advices, but she's not a real actual lawyer.

Even if I do get a lawyer, what could they do in this instance? Do I even need one? I hate that it's been taking so long, and I can see how my family is getting more and more anxious the closer to the end date it gets

I have a silver ring that needs resizing

Did anyone have experience with downsizing a ring in the area? I'd prefer to go somewhere in/near town, instead of shipping it off or driving very far.

Any recommendations? The ring has a little bit of a pattern, but it's barely different from the majority of the band, and I need maybe 0.5 size down. I'd also prefer to have my finger measured, in case a professional in such stuff can recommend some options on sizing.

Thanks everyone!

So excited and nervous! Need advice

So long story short, I(ftm) and my partner(m) are going to get married next week! I'm so very excited, and we have a few family members who are helping us navigate through all the processes. And! I'm so intrigued and curious, but I also have an overwhelming urge to have EVERYTHING planned. We're going to have a smaller official part with some snacks and cold drinks since we're planning to be outside in the shade later in the day, so it won't be too hot. And then have dinner all together, and that would be pretty much all.

People, food, places, and pictures, it's all is figured out by now, but do we do vows? Do we have people tell toast or wishes there, or wait for dinner in the restaurant? Any recommendations do yall have? How does it all even go?

I can't really ask other people who I know in real life, since I'm Ukrainian, and what I've seen before were ony huuuuge weddings, or most people I know here had most regular traditional weddings, and not like me and my partner, gay little backyard wedding lol.

Estrogen cream

I've heard that some people use estrogen cream for some time, and then don't until they experience the symptoms again. Is it safe ish as long as I keep an eye on it? Is it actually a thing? I'm just kind of tired of doing it every 3 days, and I've been feeling better since I've been taking it for about a month now. Did anybody have experience with such a thing?

Would it be safe to disclose?

I'm a Ukrainian refugee, currently waiting for the TPS for the last 14 months it's been getting processed. In the current political climate, would it be generally safe for me to disclose that I'm seeking asylum/just add more onto my case the fact that I'm transgender? Would it help me or rather worsen my case or put me in danger? In a way of me needing to be somewhere safer than not just a whole war but also possible harm caused by transphobia. I haven't changed any of my documents yet, and I still can pass as my assigned gender at birth, so that's not a concern for now.

Did anybody have any experience with it? Any advice?

Capsaicin cream 💔

Okay so I red more into this subreddit, and realized that I have something similar, but yet a bit different. I'd only have pain around my urethra, uti like pains, symptoms, all of the above like people here unfortunately had to experience. And some creams that they prescribed me before didn't do much, so im currently 3 days on the capsaicin cream. Torture, oh yeah, but I think it's gotten a little bit better, unless I just haven't had another flare up yet.

But now my question: since capsaicin makes that area less sensitive over time, will it affect sensitivity in my clitoris? I haven't had much desire to try and see if anything changed yet, but this thought won't leave me alone. Does anyone have any experience with this at all? Any resources?
